“The prosecution sought an order that Ding be remanded for a further period of seven days for further investigations,” a spokesman from the Attorney-General’s Chambers told AFP. “The court granted the application.”

If convicted of theft, Ding faces a maximum of seven years in jail and a fine. He had earlier pleaded not guilty to three counts of corruption, and was granted bail at Sg$150,000 ($121,000) on April 9.

Ding is accused of supplying free prostitutes to persuade the three referees to fix an AFC Cup match in Singapore on April 3. The referees were replaced before the match and are now being held at Singapore’s Changi Prison.
